This book really has stuck with me. It plagues the reader with “what if I was still with my first love?” This book shows a honest wrestling that is uncomfortable at times, but relatable to many. It also reminds you of the power of tragedy and how it can deeply bond people together. It was not your typical romance, hallmark love story. But something about that was refreshing.
